إنجيل القدّيس يوحنّا 55-51:8
أَلحَقَّ ٱلحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُم: إِنْ حَفِظَ أَحَدٌ كَلِمَتِي فَلَنْ يُشَاهِدَ المَوتَ إِلى الأَبَد».
فَقَالَ لَهُ اليَهُود: «أَلآنَ عَرَفْنَا أَنَّ بِكَ شَيْطَانًا. إِبْرَاهِيمُ مَات، والأَنْبِيَاءُ مَاتُوا، وأَنْتَ تَقُول: إِنْ حَفِظَ أَحَدٌ كَلِمَتِي فَلَنْ يَذُوقَ المَوتَ إِلى الأَبَد.
أَلَعَلَّكَ أَنْتَ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ أَبِينَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ الَّذي مَات؟ والأَنْبِيَاءُ أَيْضًا مَاتُوا. مَنْ تَجْعَلُ نَفْسَكَ؟».
أَجَابَ يَسُوع: إِنْ أُمَجِّدْ أَنَا نَفْسِي فَمَجْدِي لَيْسَ بِشَيء. أَبِي هُوَ الَّذي يُمَجِّدُنِي، وهُوَ مَنْ تَقُولُونَ أَنْتُم إِنَّهُ إِلهُكُم.
وأَنْتُم مَا عَرَفْتُمُوه، أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَعرِفُهُ. وإِنْ قُلْتُ إِنِّي لا أَعْرِفُهُ كُنْتُ مِثلَكُم كَاذِبًا. لكِنِّي أَعْرِفُهُ، وأَحْفَظُ كَلِمَتَهُ
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 19:45-48.
Then Jesus entered the temple area and proceeded to drive out those who were selling things,
saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves.'”
And every day he was teaching in the temple area. The chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people, meanwhile, were seeking to put him to death,
but they could find no way to accomplish their purpose because all the people were hanging on his words.
